355 and REDS

How far should the REDS be from the string out of the box. I placed the REDS on my 355 with no adjustment to the string out of the box, and my string rests HARD up against the REDS. Do I need my string tightened to back it off from the REDS? https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-PUt3t_ADLfw/UXC71s6OqII...

Re: Matrix 355

Hello, I will be sighting in my new 355 over the next couple of weeks as well. I will be using the stock 18" diablo arrows with 100 gr. field tips, and I bought some NAP spitfire crossbow 100 gr mechanical broadheads. This is the same broadhead I used on my Phoenix. But after reading some of th...

TruGlo Trajectory Compensating Dual Color

Anyone try this red dot yet?

I am thinking about trying it on my new Matrix 355.

I have trouble in low light scenarios with any scope I have tried, and I heard these have a greater field of vision, but I have had problems with Red dots in the past as far as accuracy

thanks

Re: Taking some 54 yard shots with Ibex

What Red Dot scope are you using. I just bought a 355. It came with the new tact zone scope. I have used a Hawke 3X32 MAP Crossbow Scope on my Pheonix for the last 3 seasons but I have had problems hunting in the woods during overcast days or right at close. I can't get enough illumination out of th...

Re: Phoenix and Carbon Arrows

So by performance is there any change in arrow drop? Or distance? My Pheonix right now hovers right around 35-40 yards before I see a lot of arrow drop. I suppose this is good enough for most situations I encounter but is anyone else getting more distance? And if so what is your arrow configuration?

Re: 1960 Mult Red-Dot Sight

Blackjack I am using a Hawke HK3244. I have been pleased with it under most scenarios, but like most xbow scopes I have used it can be hard to find your target in low light scenarios, like right at dusk.

Phoenix and Carbon Arrows

Hello, I am shooting a Phoenix with XX75 aluminum arrows. I would like to make the switch to carbon arrows. Does anyone have a recommended configuration? I have been using spitfire mechanical broadheads at 100 gr. Also what performance gains can I expect to see in shoot accuracy, distance etc... tha...

1960 Mult Red-Dot Sight

Hey,

Anyone try this sight out yet? I am really interested due to its simplicity and light weight. I am currently using a Hawke Cross Bow Scope.

Thanks
